Hi Cindy!
Thank you for the reply!

This is the first time I'm reading about this condition, so it goes without saying haven't been tested for it...
My iron levels have always been in the higher end of normal, I don't know if that is relevant?

Yes, please get tested for this. This condition can eventually effect your organs. Several in my family have it and have phlebotomies at various times. I was treated for years then after genetic testing it was determined I did not have it although I had developed cirrhosis due to fatty liver.
Had liver transplant in 2020. I do often wonder if I did have it. My brother who has it has cirrhosis now.
I wish you the best and hope you find answers soon.
